I just finished a re-do on my kids bathroom which included a shower curtain, some new art work and towels. You can take a look on my blog. I also plan on doing a floor mat when I get the time and doing a tutorial for the towels with the hanging loops.

I just finished another tutorial, this one for the Open Pocket Pouch. It’s a companion tut to my Purse Pouch Tutorial. I also have some fun and simple tuts for bowties, fabric bookmarks, and hairbows. My girls love to model Mommy’s latest little dresses and skirts, which are catalogued under “sewing” in my sidebar, so there are lots of fun things to check out!

The next time I’m in Oregon visiting family (I grew up just southwest of Portland) I’ll be sure to stop by your store – I have a brother living in Beaverton, how convenient is that?! Thanks for your great store and blog!

Are we allowed to nominate other people? I just found a tutorial and thought it was cute and perfect for this time of year. Maybe you could contact her for permission to feature her if you’re interested? Let me know and I’ll give you the link.

I wanted to try crazy quilting with scraps of felted wool (from old sweaters). The traditional way didn’t work, because the felt was too thick to sew and flip. So I experimented and came up with a technique that worked great! I wrote up a tutorial, which can be found here: http://hereastitch.blogspot.com/2008/06/tutorial-time.html

I came up with this basket style bag simply to take some home grown apples to my Mum’s.
It only took an afternoon to make and I think it would be great in Christmas fabric filled with pine cones.
I would like to share the FREE tutorial with your readers.

I’ve emailed you Beth. A little nervous as I’m still quite the novice. However, I created what I think is a perfect little bag from a couple of fat quarters, and posted a tut on my blog. Thanks for considering me!
